Yes and European law is bound to the same expectations of due process that American law is, except due process isn't being followed here EXCEPT in Ireland. You approached this discussion with the assumption that the new federal government of Europe has a legitimate authority over their taxation argument, when it simply does not have a clear case, it doesn't have supportive case law, and the administrative procedure is being made up on the fly.
